TIRE.

Application filed May 5,

This invention relates to pneumatic ve- Vhicle tires embodying a multiplicity ot individual inner tubes positioned within a tire casing to relieve and overcome the usual necessity of repairing and replacing an inner tube whenv the tire is punctured and defiated.

An object of the invention is toprovide separable tire casing sections within which the inner tubes may be placed and which `may be removed as a unit to overcome the usual necessit of removing the tire rim.

More specifibally stated each oit' the inner tubes provide separate valves and attaching means upon the tire rim to prevent independent circumferential movement thereon.

lVith the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details ot construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out-in the appended claim.

In the drawings f Y Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of the tire casing constructed in accordance with the above entitled invention;

Figure 2 is a fragmentary view of the invention as arranged upon the conventional form of tire rim.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken through the tire casing and illustrating the relativo arrangement of the inner tubes;

Figure 4 shows perspectives of the valves and attaching means;

Figure 5 is an elevation of the separable tire casings forming the subject mattei' ot' a modified form of the invention;

Figure 6 is a. similar view to that of Figure 2 illustrating the relative arrangementot the inner tubes within each of the separable tire casings;

Figure 7 is an elevation ot a separable tire casing partly broken away.

Referring to the drawing in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a tire casing having radially disposed partitions 11 integrally formed therein, substantially as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing.

Positioned within each `ot the compart- 1926. Serial No. 106,887.

ments defined between the partitions 11 `are companion inner tubes 12;each ot which has air valves' 13 depending therefrom. Said air valves provide annular llange portions 14 engageable with the inner lside walls of the tubes 12 while their remaining lengths extend through semi-circular plates 15, having tapered side edges 16 fitted within and against correspondingly disposed .side walls, of openings 17 arranged at spaced intciwals along the length oiithe tire rim 18. Retaining' nuts 19 are carried by the remaining lengths of the valves 18 upon the inner side of the rim 18.

It will be noted that the arrangement of a pair of indivi-dual inner tubes within each of the compartments will overcome theV usual necessity oi changing thetire in itsV entirety upon the puncture of anyone of the inner tubes. Upon the puncture or deflation of any one of the inner tubes, its companion inner tube `may be inflated to lill the entire con'ipartment in order that the tire in its entirety will give an even traction and resiliency throughout its circumference.

In Figures 5 to 7 inclusive, we have illustrated a modified form of the invention em-' bodying separable and individual tire casing 10 within which pairs ot inner tubes l2 may be positioned and secured as in the instance of the tubes 12 in the preferred embodiment of the invention.

The modification offers the advantage of permitting the removal and replacement ot an individual tire casing when deflated or worn.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its forn'nproportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to. make such changes as properly fall within the scope ot' the appended claim. 1

Having thus described our invention what we claim is:

A valve stem housing construction comprising a tir'e rim having aseries of beveled circular openings, the larger diameter ot' the openings being on the outside circumference of the rim, pairs of semi-circular beveled plates fitting each of the said openings, a valve stem passing through and secured.

te euch one of each pair of sem-erculm 011e section of tbe lube i0 be remmed Mibplates whereby the air pressure 'forces the eut', disturbing the other section. valve s'emS Outward und the beveled plates In testimony wlw-wf we nix (my. gg- 1D engage the sides of the Openings, the Said natures. I

5 plates being arranged in each p21-i1? so that one may be` removed oi' both may be re- LADISLAUS ORSZAG. moved at the same time, thereby allowing PHILIP CURCURUTO.
